PaintingMural Painting Wat Thung Sri Meung
Mural paintings at this Phra Putthabhat hall were painted on the walls, the walls behind the doors and the columns. The paintings were painted in various stories including Vessanatara Jataka, Phra Malai and Buddha’s life. The walls behind the doors were painted with Pajittakumara Jataka, Julapata Jataka and Sin Chai. The columns were painted with Sin Chai stories, lotus bud and intertwined spray patterns. The painting techniques might have been influenced by the royal school of art in Bangkok. The techniques include patterns of the main characters, the palaces, and color status. However, there were also pictures of local folk life in the paintings.
